Local Administrator on windows 2000 professional

[Barb]

In the past, when I installed software on a windows 2000
professional workstation (workstation has novell client),
I sign on as administrator "workstation only". Some of the
installation programs are on a netware server. I connect
to the netware server (using a netware signon with admin
rights) after logging into the workstation.

Recently, a user called administrator was added to the
netware server. It was given the same password as the
administrator on the windows 2000 professional
workstation. The user administrator signs on to the
workstation with "workstation only is unchecked". The
passwords are synced.

My question is: Will the apps still be installed under the
local admin?

Windows applications are always installed under the logged in Windows
user, unless elevated priviliages are used in which case it can be
installed as another Windows user (right-click executable RunAs),
regardless of what account you use to log into eDirectory.

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let you know there is a site that may be of some use. A
lot of people who work with Novell products, and are VERY good with
implementations and troubleshooting, frequent the site. You can find it at:
